Carla Giacomangeli purchased this farmhouse in 2005

Why Carla Giacomangeli chose Shenandoah Valley

We choose Blue Hill because we feel in love with the house and the beautiful country setting - you can see the mountains and we are surrounded by 36 acres - 5 acres of fields and the rest is wooded and we are close to the Shenandoah River, Middleburg and Winchester. Blue Hill also offers us the opportunity to get away from the city but is close enough to DC that the the drive is relaxing and if we want to do something there are tons of options - so we can just relax and do nothing or we can plan a weekend of fun things to do!

What makes this farmhouse unique

Blue Hill is a unique home - the word comfy and inviting is the word most often used to describe what guests love about Blue Hill.

Guestbook comments from the owner

Peaceful and beautiful spot for our 10th Anniversary! We enjoyed the birds and just being outside :).

The Farm market was a lot of fun too! Thank you for including the brochures!

Fantastic home and property

We stayed at Blue Hill for a 5 day long weekend over the 4th of July - it was just the 2 adults and our dog for the stay, so it was more house than we needed. The master bedroom was fantastic as well as the very large shower (we loved the river rock floor in the shower). We really enjoyed the hot tub outdoor seating. No matter what time of day, there was a shady spot to be found to enjoy nature. Our dog loved the large yard, he wore himself out playing frisbee while we were there. There are a LOT of wineries within 20-30 min of the house, many of which are dog friendly on their patios. We would definitely recommend this house for couples all the way up to multiple family get togethers.

Perfect Location to Share with Friends

I chose Blue Hill as the location for my friend's bachelorette party and it was fantastic! The house itself is big enough to entertain a decent group and not feel crowded. It was also very close to a number of wineries that were easy to get to and from on the bus we rented. Blue Hill is very well maintained and the owner/property manager are very responsive to any questions or issues. My favorite part was the hospitality - the owner had a beautiful bouquet of flowers for the bride waiting on the table! It was a very thoughtful gesture. I would recommend Blue Hill to anyone looking for a beautiful location to host a party or simply get away from the city. I personally look forward to staying again!

Wonderful and relaxing get away!

This house was beautiful, clean and welcoming. Our goal was to relax and this farmhouse and property helped us to achieve that goal. We enjoyed the hot tub, grill, wrap around porch and back deck outside and inside was very spacious and comfortable! Loved the large dining room where we could all gather comfortably for meals. Plenty of comfortable beds and large updated bathrooms! Definitely considering a return visit!

Great place! Everything we needed for our large group

We came for our daughters wedding and had a great time. It was so nice to have the family together in one place. The house was perfect and plenty of room for us. We enjoyed the hot tub and the room to have family meals together. We ended up having to bring our dog and it was so perfect for him !! Thanks!

Great party house

The house was perfect for 9 of us who were in Clarke county for a wedding. The bedrooms and baths were comfortable and as represented.

Unfortunately it was rainy most of the time so couldn't take advantage of the wonderful porch, but the inside provided plenty of space to be together. The house has a great "feel" ,the location is perfect, we hope there will be another occasion to rent Blue Hill again.
